I too am good at covering or filling holes to prevent this very thing, but this time i let one go! Well, I went and dropped $100 bucks on a small snake camera from Home Depot that allowed me to see down inside. I see the bolt. It does not appear to be jammed or wedge tight. This new tool comes with ...

One of the bolts from the air intake cover fell into the large turbocharger oil return galley hole. The pedestal was removed so it went directly into engine compartment. Can anyone tell me if that hole empties directly into the oil pan, bypassing the pistons? I want to make sure that bolt will not f...

In checking for voltage to coils and from coils to plugs, what is the correct voltage? Resistance for coils are in specification. My system does not give me what the voltage shold be like it does for resistance. Any body know?

Correct on the model number---typo. It is a 325is.

After some narrowing down, the knock comes only when turning left. Will occur in AWD and 4L settings. I can duplicate one time only while in the air on first turn to left. It occurs 8 out of 10 turns left. Still have not seen any visual indications for the sound. I have checked Rack and Pinion, knoc...

Battery cables clamps are clean, all fuses are ok. Starter fail was not a result to over cranking, as far as I and customer are aware of.

Customer informed that starter went out. My own diagnostic confirmed. Replaced starter, but car still won't start. It cranks with fuel pressure in spec. Double checked cam and crank sensor resistance and voltage, all checked out fine. Had a weak battery and a Code 26 - ECU Battery Voltage. Installed...

Replaced injector...

Original Problem: customer had significant trani fluid loss and car would not shift very well, then one day gave out completely Original Diagnostic: filled trani with fluid to proper levels, trani shifted as designed in all conditions; no DTCs Conclusion: find and fix leak inside trani Work: subbed...

Thanks for your input. I do some more checking and backprobing. I'll let you know what I find out.

Customer is complaining that horn and power locks have occationally activiated at random, mostly during hot ambient temps. During my actuator tests on the cluster I noticed that as I tested each actuator, the cluster power would flicker on and off in random patterns. I did pull 5 C-Codes from the cl...

Seven months ago, customer noticed the rear of his truck riding really low. After diagnosing, air spring bags were old and could not hold air. Customer requested all componants be replaced, along with installing new struts front and rear. New compressor, air springs, sensors, air lines were all repl...

Thanks guys for the suggestions and input. I'll try both a reflash of the PCM and/or swap injectors and see if doing so creates a different outcome.

Six months ago customer needed head gasket replaced due to coolant spewing out just under the throttle body where the lower Intake mates with valve covers and heads. No problems during R&I. Car performed as it should after repair. The car has only 53K miles. Last week customer called and said the SE...

The problem was a bad injector. Once injector was replaced, all rough idle and running disappeared as it should. Thank you all for your comments and suggestions.

3.4L V6. Compression at all cylanders is low but equal to or has a variance of + or - 5 psi.

Truck is listing P0303 DTC; truck has new plugs; no misfires on other cylanders; misfires on Cyl 3 are intermitant, and when it starts it jumps to over 200 misfires, runs rough, and has significant loss in power; did compression test on each cylander, and all were within specs; all vaccuum hoses are...

To all responders, I was able to open the switch and noticed a great deal of grime, causing the switch inside from returning to the Park position. It was getting stuck in the Reverse position, although the shifter was in Park. I cleaned out the grime and added a small amount of di-electric grease. T...

A closer look at the P/N Switch, there is an ajusting bolt that permits a slight clockwise/counterclockwise movement of the switch. After moving the switch clockwise, the Jeep started consistantly (only in Park and not in Nuetral). The Jeep now starts 7 out of 10 times, versus 0 out of 10. I suspect...
